Watchdog recently aired its survey about airline popularity (in which VS came 2nd to BA - ooops!).

In the footage, the presenter was featured in, on and around a 747 which seemed to have a very weird engine configuration (2 engines on each wing, but attached to each other in one location). Which 747 was it, which airtline operates it and can it fly??

Thanks!

It is a former BA 742, reg # G-BDXJ, it is stored at Dunsfold, it is most commonly seen on Top Gear and it all 'stared' in the James Bond movie Casino Royale, the new one not the old one.

I did a trackday at Dunsfold, and it's a little distracting! For those who watch topgear, it's directly in front of you as you head for the 'Chicago' corner!
